Dear BioWare: Females of the Species Do Exist

No. That's why I said it didn't matter much.

Well if you are so upset, why aren't you voting with your $? Could it be that it actually does not really bother you all that much?

I have some of the Dancer outfits unlocked in collections, and wanted non-Legacy shells for gearing Treek up.
That's when I discovered the limitation. Wound up putting her in Casual Vandal instead (also unlocked).

So, are you suggesting that people happy with the game but critical of BW's marketing should unsubscribe?

Or are you just trolling?

If they are really that unhappy with some aspect of the game, of course. Impotently raging on the forums helps them vent, I suppose.

If you dislike "aspect X" of the game, yet continue to subscribe, why should BWEA bother to make any changes? You're obviously content to keep giving them your money.

No. Are you?

Oh please, be honest. What other explanation is there for your consistent mis-characterization of other people's posts, other than that you live under a bridge and have a fear of goats?

Here's the OP for your perusal. It was such a big deal that the OP posted an apology for posting it in the first place. So you're not represented enough? Again, however, you cherry pick to comment on what you want to comment on. Even when game companies do it, they don't do it "right". This is very much a non issue that is being blown out of proportion since, the people that can contribute to this forum know damn good and well that they can play a female if they choose to. If I see marketing online about a game, and I'm the least bit curious, I go to Google and youtube looking it up. So if I were to go to either place, I wouldn't find any information about whether or not there's a female protagonist? Wouldn't the main initial draw to this game, for the majority of people that may be interested in it, be that it's Star Wars?

How many MMOs out there don't have gender selection for the protagonist? Of the 6 installed on this rig, they all do, and they vary wildly in development teams, from an older Korean Grinder to Neverwinter. So maybe continue your agenda about how "The Man" is keeping you down someplace where it's relevant? Because clearly, in the MMO market, it's irrelevant. The real issue isn't that females aren't included, it's the "I didn't see one, so I'm going to assume they don't exist and will continue to claim I'm discriminated against because they didn't show a picture that I could nitpick about **** size or clothing, or the way she walks in an MMO, where I know damn good and well that female PCs are possible".

Musco said it on today's stream. That's art that they had literally lying around somewhere for years. He doesn't even know where it came from. It may have even been from before the game came out.

Your erroneous characterizatrion of my posts as mischaracterizing others' posts leads me to believe that in fact you are trolling.

I'm not the OP. You are responding to my posts, not the OPs. Or didn't you notice that?

You complain about alleged "cherry picking" from your posts, and then bring in third-party postings as if I have some responsibility for them? Geez, how desperate are you to avoid admitting you've lost the argument?

The selection of all-male images to represent the SWTOR class options for use in BW's 12x XP Event marketing was stupid. Inexcusably stupid: the art being free does not excuse it (better free artwork exists and includes female characters), and having the art lying around for years does not excuse it (it is actually a good reason to NOT use it).

It's because I like this game that I am critical of such incompetent marketing of it. If you like this game, do you really think that artwork does it justice? Compared to, for example, the fan art that's out there? Or even the in-game graphics of the better-looking NPCs ?
